Pet Content // Why is Puppy Biting Training so Hard?*
For some people, teaching puppy how not to bite can be a real task. Keep in mind that dogs are like real children; once their teeth start growing, they become itchy and irritated. At the same time, they will start exploring their new bodily function by biting everything around them. Still, teeth are much more important to dogs than to us. Yes, we both need them to eat but dogs also use them as a way of interacting with others. As they have limited options at their disposal, they will use teeth in a playful manner. Unfortunately, they might occasionally cross the line. You need to teach your puppy to be…

Update Your Look: The Classic Gentleman*
For those of you with an eye for clean lines, detail, and of course, luxury, you will probably be familiar with the term “The Classic Gentleman”. Three simple words that incorporate a whole type of style and fashion, spreading over hundreds of years. Now I offer up the classic gentleman’s typical look, but firmly pushed into the 21st century. A timeless Gentleman understands which outfit perfectly suits the occasion. Whether it is a business trip into the city, with his lightweight coat and smart trainers for commuting, or a drink at the local bar with some school friends, he appreciates the power of the elements, and their unpredictability.

3 Important Things to Think About as a Parent*
Parenting is hard. That’s the first thing that always comes to mind when I’m asked about it. Hard but rewarding. For me, one of the hardest parts is thinking about the “what ifs“, I swear my life feels like a constant health and safety analysis. Before I had Little Miss and it was only just me I used to do things without thinking of consequences, and I definitely had a wild patch in my early 20s. Becoming a mother, and a single mother at that encouraged me to start considering the future and be careful with my money. Of course I’m still a little reckless, we do holiday a lot…

How My Parents are Preparing for Their Future*
In March, I turned 30. To my parents, this is me a fully fledged adult (not the fact I don’t live at home, manage my own finances and have a child) and they felt it was time for us to sit down and talk about the future. In particular, their future. I’m blessed in that I don’t have elderly parents just yet but after a few health scares with my dad, they wanted to make sure I was prepared, that we were all prepared should anything happen. Not only that, but since my parents are still young and the average life expectancy is increasing each year, there is a chance,…

10 Cheap Activities to Do With Your Child This Summer
If you follow my personal Instagram account you may have caught my moan about how hard I was finding this summer. I have to admit it’s the first summer I’ve really struggled, usually I can’t wait to have time with LM. I have to admit, this year although I’m not bored of her and she isn’t driving me up the wall, I am feeling incredibly unfulfilled that I’m not giving her the time of her life. I do think, like with everything, social media has a part to play in this. I see all these families doing amazing things and we’re doing the same routine every day and I feel…

A Purrrfect Date Night with… My Cat*
Another weekend has come and gone, and obviously I didn’t have a date. I say obviously because I haven’t been on a date since a disastrous one last April when the guy walked into the coffee shop, saw me and said “no, this isn’t going to work” then left. Man that was a blow for my self esteem! I’d been dumped in the December, decided to put myself straight back out in the January, briefly started seeing a guy that I picked up was bad news from the start, had a few dates with another guy but he was so self righteous we just argued constantly and then coffee shop…
